Seated Lateral Raises
How to do it
- Sit on the end of a bench with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- Sit tall, chest up, feet flat.
- Raise both arms out to shoulder height, elbows slightly bent.
- Lower slowly under control.
- Sitting removes the leg drive, so you cannot bounce the weight up - expect to use less than standing.
